One
World Beat is a non-profit organization
that unites musicians of all genres to unite
and convey a message of hope through their
music.

Bands
from around the world perform gigs under
the One World Beat banner and use their
place in the spotlight to do more than just
sing about changing the world - they actually
do it. By raising funds and awareness for
the One World Beat help projects they inspire
people and music fans to step out of the
shade and take action.

In
only three, the One World Beat community
has grown from a visionary idea to a network
of people and artists around the world.

"The
idea of giving musicians the possibility to be
part of a humanitarian project in a direct way
was a natural one to me," says Andy
Treichler, founder of One World Beat.
"After all, so much music is about changing
the world, about making it better. I see One World
Beat as a way to allow musicians like myself to
do something more than just sing about making
a difference. Now, we have an opportunity to actually
do it."

Supported
by the United Nations Education Consortium Organization
(UNESCO), and artists such as Phil Collins, Mark
King, The Cardigans, Westlife, Paula Abdul and
hundreds more musicians, One World Beat has successfully
staged the Global Music Festival 2003, 2004 and
2005.

The
Global Music Festival 2005
One World Beat stages the annual Global Music
Festival bringing together musicians and bands
from around the world in one big event. The first
edition of its kind in 2003 held over 50 concerts
in 15 countries, benefiting different help-organizations.
In 2004 the festival grew to an amazing 150 events
in over 40 countries, collaborating with the non-profit
organization Keep
A Child Alive to help children living with
HIV/AIDS.

For
One World Beat 2005 we have chosen to work with
the non-profit organizations Liberation Through
Education and Outside the Dream to help underprivileged
children get an education to shape their future.
We are looking forward to inspire people around
the world. Music Making A Difference: it never
sounded so good!
